Here are a few of my favorite & very helpful websites. A lot of work has gone into these sites so please take the time to look & enjoy them.
GENEALOGY
1.Our Southern Ancestors What a " wealth of information " from a wonderful lady and author of the 1985 book " Our Southern Ancestors " by Thelma Faye Cain Prince. I've enjoyed the vast knowledge of her work on the Sorrells family and I'm sure you will too.
2.Find A Grave Here you can search for the graves of family, friends and celebrities. This is a great site for adding and or searching your ancestors. I have been a member for over 5 years now and proud to say that I'm a member of their " The Angels Flower Garden ".

5. 33rd Mississippi Infantry David Godbold has done a wonderful job at this website. There is History, Bio's, Letters, Rosters, Battles, Officers and Enlisted Men. This is one of the websites that I have used to search for some of our Amite Co, Mississippi families ( Whittington, Wilkinson & more )during the Civil War. " Check it out ".
6. 8th Georgia Infantry David Larson has done a wonderful job at the 8th Georgia Infantry website. This has our John Paulden Duke photo & bio here. Plus be sure to look for other relatives here also. " Thanks David "
GRAPHICS
7.Heaven's Hope Graphics If you love angels & children ( and who doesn't ) you're going to love this website. Tamara is a very talented lady who's story of the loss of her daughter " Hope " has touched my heart. As a parent of a child that has crossed over, I understand all to well the pain this causes a family. Tamara has taken her pain and turned it into a wonderful gift for others to share and enjoy. Without her help this website would not have been possible. Once again, I would like to say a big " Thank You " to her & her family for giving back with Heaven's Hope Graphics. I would recommend this site to anyone who needs just the right touch for their website.
BEYOND
8.George Anderson After the death of our son Jeff, my mother bought us a book called " Our Children Forever ". What a comfort that book became to us as parents of a child who has passed. I have now read all of the George Anderson books and recommend them to you as well. Please take a look at his site & enjoy.
Grief Support
9.Compassionate Friends Grief support after the death of a child. Compassionate Freinds is a national nonprofit, self-help support organization that offers friendship and understanding to bereaved parents, grandparents and siblings. There is no religious affiliation and there is no membership dues or fees. Ron & I have receive a free monthly newsletter since 1997 and I find some type of comfort in each issue. If you have lost a child or know someone who has I recommend this website. " You Are Not Alone ".
